Token refreshing C#
I'm building an app in .net and accessing the app's folder for resources. So far everything is going smoothly, but i have no idea how to refresh the token in my app. I tried using the example code fr...
Hi Melisek,
Are you certain that Windows machine, used as a DUT, has properly set default web browser? 🧐 Try set it anew or change to some other. If no luck yet, test again with a bit changed 'authorizeUri'. Add to following line:

...a real browser name to avoid relying on system settings (possibly broken). It can come up something like:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("firefox", authorizeUri.ToString());Of course, other web browser can be used (on your opinion) too!
Let see the result...🤔

Dropbox StaffMelisek Thanks for following up. As Здравко said, please make sure the environment has a default web browser set.
Otherwise, it looks like you may be using Windows Forms, so please refer to this post for options, as it appears you may need to use something other than System.Diagnostics.Process.Start in that environment.
Yes i'm using WPF.
After giving the full path to the browser executable, it opens in the browser with the authorization site and for some reason opens two tabs passing into the URLS: http://files.content.read and http://account_info.read. But after allowing the app in the authorization site it throws this exception:
Exception thrown: „System.IO.FileNotFoundException” in System.Private.CoreLib.dll
Exception thrown: „System.IO.FileNotFoundException” in System.Private.CoreLib.dll
Could not find file 'C:\Programming\C#\MelisekGameManager\MelisekGameManager\bin\Debug\net6.0-windows\index.html'.: Error: {0}I think it's probably because i used the OauthBasic instead of OauthPKCE.
Seems improper argument quoting. Space chars are used as a scopes separator, but the same chars are arguments separators too. Try following version:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo(authorizeUri.ToString()) {UseShellExecute = true});I believe, now it's gonna work. 😉
Good luck.
Replaced it and it's still the same (i added the path to the browser). Checked it on another browser just in case, and it persists on there too.
